The fact that this is sensible, inevitable, and the way forward for medical procedures doesn't reduce any of the horror of watching a human being operated on by a machine. It's like 1984 meets the dentist.

I have a lot of theories about how despair goes viral in English speaking places. I’ll just share this tidbit, from an analysis of 170 years of American news coverage.
We really are living in an era of negativity-poisoned discourse that is (*empirically*) historically unique.
Long live the imposters!
Every so often I write down some of my experiences, startups and programs.

We all have imposter syndrome!

I wonder if one day there will be media nutritionists
Where you hand over your media history and they tell you how to improve it to reduce ignorance and outrage and to inspire.
Kids- Just say no to TikTok
Adults - keep your tv news below 10 mins daily
Etc

The question is almost never, is X a nice thing to do.

Is anyone in European government ashamed and embarrassed about the cookie banner thing?
This is even more true for Australia than the US.
Climate debates are often stuck in 2010. But there's no longer a tradeoff between economic growth and stopping climate change. In fact, thanks to technology, the two goals now go together!

A Volvo engineer named Nils Bohlin invented the three-point seatbelt, but Volvo gave away the patent to other manufacturers because it had more value as a free life-saving tool.
